If you disagree, please send a link to the Florida law. The law is required to state this otherwise MLS rules apply.

Florida law doesn't require the seller to pay the buyer's agent anything. In fact, the seller is not even required to allow a buyer's agent to show their house.

If you don't sign the listing contract, you much sell it on your own. Yes, contracts are negotiable but not the MLS rules. I did not say the law requires the seller to pay buyer's agent. MLS listings follow MLS rules.
Again, please provide a link to the state law you talk about. This will confirm if you are correct or not.
